Not really sure that I understand your question. If you decide to drop
a login from the server, you have probably decided to do for good. Why
would you have thst login back if you reture a database?
If you restore the database on a different server, then there is a problem,
because the users in the database will not match the logins. In this case
you can use sp_change_users_login to map users back to logins. For details
on this procedure, please look in Books Online.
